Normal POV
I quickly and quietly moved through the house. The sooner I get out the better. " Hey you!" I turned and two men were walking towards me.
I stumbled forward, drunkenly. " Sorry I'm lost," I said then laughed stupidly, falling against the chest of the man who was obviously security around here.
" Great another drunk one," the guard said. He had a blade on his side. Perfect. In a split second I pulled the blade out and slashed his abdomen open. Before the other man could react I slit his throat. They both crumpled to the floor, the man whose throat was slit dying immediately, the other had his innards spilling out. He was about to cry out when I bent down and put the pressure of my knee into his neck. He began choking and looked up at me pleadingly. His eyes asked for mercy but unfortunately for him that wasn't something I knew of. He finally choked his last breath and I stood up.
" Damn look what you did now my wooden sandals are blood stained," I said looking at my shoes. Looks like I'll need new ones, again. What was that the fifth time this month? I stared at their bodies for a moment. They reminded of the demons from so long ago. I turned and kept on walking, not looking back. I slowly weaved my way through the party as if I was just another guest. I felt the lusty stares from men but I completely ignored them. They were all horny pigs in my eyes. I went out the front door, no problem. As soon as I got to the woods I put my mask on and leapt back to base.
We had a small, inconspicuous house that looked like it had been burnt down years ago. The real hideout was through the secret trap door to the basement. " I'm back," I said emotionlessly.
" Kaoriiiiiiiiiii!" Tsuyoshi shouted happily and ran to tackle me. I moved at the last moment and he ran into a wall.
I chuckled, " You really are an idiot."
" Kaori I missed you!" he said happily after jumping up again. He tried to hug me but I moved away.
" First off I see you nearly everyday so you really shouldn't miss me that much. Second the last time you hugged me I had to go to a doctor because you broke my rib." I said while walking down the hallway.
" Aw Kaori don't be so mean. I can't help it!" Tsuyoshi said happily.
" Leave her be Tsuyoshi," Shinichi said calmly from the doorway. " Welcome back. I assume the mission was successful?"
" Have I ever not been?" I said with a small smile before jumping onto the couch.
" You know I have to ask. Let me record it." Shinichi said then shut his eyes for a moment. " Done" then sat down himself.
" What do we do now?" Tsuyoshi asked also sitting down on the couch.
" The captain sent me this," Shinichi said then turned on the screen.
" Who's that?" I asked
" The substitute shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends. The friends are now on our KOS list but if found we find the substitute shinigami we are to apprehend him," Shinichi said pushing up his glasses.
" Damn their just kids. Why should they be on the Kill On Sight list?" Tsuyoshi asked.
Shinichi lit a cigarette and took a drag. " Does it matter? We listen to Captain's orders that's it."
" Smoking's bad for you. It stinks bad enough in here already," I said
" I'll stop smoking when you stop drinking," he said smiling at me.
" I'll stop drinking when Tsuyoshi stops fucking anything with tits" I said casually.
" I can't help it! I like girls, all girls! And the girls like me. It's not like I try to get them they just come to me. What should I say no?" Tsuyoshi said frantically. We all looked at each other in silence for a moment. Then everyone broke into hysterical laughter.
" Damn we're all fucked up some way or another aren't we?" I said lying back against the couch again and smiling lightly.
" What are you talking about? We lived normal childhoods. Orphaned, experimented on, trained to kill, you know the usual stuff," Tsuyoshi said with that stupid grin.
" I'm thirsty. You guys want to go get a drink?" I said standing up and stretching.
" Sounds good to me," Shinichi said.
" Then your paying," I said with a light smile.
" Kaori no one can pay for your drinking habit. If we were in the world of the living you could buy an island with the money you spend on booze in a year," Shinichi said.
" Hey I earn some of it back in those drinking competitions," I said.
" Come on lets go already I'm starved!" Tsuyoshi said. We all changed into normal clothes, got up and left, going to the nearest pub. We ordered a pile of food and several bottles of booze. Because of our altered bodily parts, we required more energy than the normal person. So we all ate large amounts of food; triple the regular amount a normal person would eat.
" Can I get you anything else?" The waitress asked staring at Shinichi with hearts in her eyes. In fact all the women were staring at the two of them.
" No that will be all," Shinichi said, focusing on lighting his cigarette, not even paying attention to the girl. She left, happy that he even responded.
" I can't go anywhere with you two," I said grumpily.
" Why's that?" Tsuyoshi said with his mouthful. If the girls only knew how much of a pig he was.
" I can't handle all the goo-goo eyes the girls are giving you," I said then finished off my first bottle of alcohol.
" The guys are staring at you as well. Don't you think that should be what bothers you?" Shinichi said.
" Nope," I said matter of factly. They shrugged it off and continued eating. A few minutes later a girl came over to Tsuyoshi and in no time he was off.
" Damn him!" I said clenching my fist " He is such a fucking whore." Shinichi chuckled and took a drag of his cigarette. After a while we were the only ones left in the bar and it was quiet. I opened up the next bottle and moved to take a sip but Shinichi stopped me.
" You've had enough," he said with an unconcerned look.
" I've had two bottles of hard liquor and I'm not even tipsy. You do remember I have a steel liver," I said smiling lightly.
" You're going to have to stop drinking this much. It's going to kill you," Shinichi said now looking at me.
" How else am I supposed to lock away the demons?" I asked emotionlessly.
Shinichi sighed and put out his cigarette. " I was being serious before. I'll quit if you quit."
I laughed, " You've been smoking longer than I have been drinking. You'd never-" I looked over at Shinichi and he was looking at me with his serious look.
" I care about you Kaori. The three of us have been together since we were kids and we've been through it all" he put his hand on top of mine. " Kaori I-"
" Aw man guys you missed it! She had a twin sister and a friend with her and we went back to their house and-" I whacked Tsuyoshi upside the head.
" We don't want to hear about your sex-capades!" I shouted at him, making him laugh. He looked down and saw Shinichi's hand still on mine.
" Oh am I interrupting something special?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows. I grabbed the bottle off the table and got up. " Kaori?" he asked.
" I'm tired, I'm heading home," I said pulling my hand away and heading for the door. They didn't try to stop me they knew my moods. I walked into my tiny house and got changed. I was actually quite wealthy, getting paid for every successful job, but I lived here to help hide my identity. I quickly changed into pajamas and went to the hidden basement, putting away my uniform and mask then headed back upstairs. I finished off the bottle of booze and went to bed.
